In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore how static electricity can make electric "fleas" jump up and down. Learners use a piece of wool cloth or fur to charge a sheet of acrylic plastic.

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity, you'll make an electric motor--a simple version of the electric motors found in toys, tools, and appliances everywhere.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

In this activity, learners discover how a piece of fruit can act as an electrolyte, conducting electricity between two different metals.
